Description (summary) 2003-07-15 ms small floor area of stones and sherds. Major feature is bitumen painted sherd. This floor is in k15 under a portion of f372. It is bounded on n by cut in 'clay bin' f155. The six stones are in a somewhat regular pattern and the sherd portion is somewhat smaller. This floor seems very contained. [Input: N722MS1.j]
2003-08-02 ms this layer in k14 was thought to be a definitive ph4 because we had the bitumen painted sherd which is indicative of ph4. However, when the pottery lots were analyzed we had pottery from ph3, 4 and 5 so it must be ph5. We looked back at notes and trust that this feature was protected as much as possible from contamination so feel comfortable with the conclusion that this is ph5. It makes more sense because this would have been the highest ph4 in the area. The rest is a very low ph5 from the kiln waste, f373. [Input: N802MS.j]

Notes on time sequencing 2003-07-29 mkb The sherds from this feature are mixed chronologically with Phases 3,4,5 present. Phase 5 sherds are Khabur painted (several sherds). Phase 4 is indicated by one sherd with a clear bitumen painted design. Phase 3 is represented by a radial burnished bowl. I noticed sherds sherds which were part of the same vessels in the lots; we will check for whole vessels in the sherd yard. [Input: N803MS.j]
2003-08-03 mkb In the reassessment of the ceramics of this feature on N802 we have come to the same conclusion as previously. There were four pottery q-lots from this feature. Here are some more details: q779 contained one sherd with a bitumen painted design (Phase 4), sherds from a radially burnished bowl (Phase 3), one rim of a Habur painted jar, and 4 Habur body sherds, q795 has no Habur sherds, q796 one sherd from the same radially burnished jar, one medium size rim from a Habur painted jar and one Habur body sherd, q797 two Habur body sherds. The complete analysis of the body sherds and shape sherds from this feature will be found in the A15 TP files. [Input: N803MS.j]
